    but humans driven to eat meat and without extremely strict enforcement global veganism is a fantasy.

    I never said anything of the sort. Right from the start you’ve assumed a lot about me, I left a one sentance reply to an article I agreed with and you’ve built a straw version of me to argue with your over the top talking points. Stop putting words in my mouth because I agree that it’s not realistic of feasebile for humanity to go off meat in either of our lifetimes.

    What I am saying is that calling meat “humane” is an inherent contradiction and just a marketing term so people can feel better about their choice to eat meat. Just as “free range” or “cage free” chickens absolutely still live their lives in appaling conditions. It’s whitewashing away treating life as a commodity.

    Which is yuppie bullshit.

      You’re right I did, I’ve talked to many people and get nearly identical responses often and I assumed this of you, sorry.

      Ok, that makes sense. Life is inherently not “humane”, even when a lion hunts and eats it’s hard to call that “humane”.

      so people can feel better about their choice to eat meat

      Why should people feel bad about eating what their body has evolved to eat? Feel bad about participating in a disgusting capitalist animal agriculture sure, but not about following biological imperatives we all have.

      . It’s whitewashing away treating life as a commodity

      Yep, that’s capitalism and the scale of humanity that’s the problem, not people eating what our bodies are meant to.
